Lea Seydoux returning for Bond 25

Lea Seydoux is to return for 'Bond 25'.

The 33-year-old actress portrayed Bond girl Dr Madeleine Swann in 2015 movie 'Spectre', and she looks set to reprise her role after support from Daniel Craig - who is to play the suave spy for a fifth time in the forthcoming film - and director Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Fukunaga - who will be helming his first Bond movie - told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Lea will be returning."

Franchise regulars Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris are also set to return for the as-yet untitled 25th movie in the series.

Speaking about the British trio, the director added: "You have some of the best actors in the world here.
